Ordinary happy life

Chapter 65 Da Yong hires someone

After Zhang Dayong left the jewelry store, he went to the cloth shop. Looking at the dazzling array of cloths in the store, Zhang Dayong was a little confused about what cloth to choose for wedding clothes.

"Sir, what kind of cloth do you want to buy???" The waiter on guard saw Zhang Dayong standing in the store with a troubled look on his face, and immediately guessed that the other party might not know how to choose, so he trotted forward and asked .

Zhang Dayong heard this and replied, "I want to buy red cloth to make wedding clothes, but I don't know which kind to buy???"

The smile on his face became more real when he heard that it was the waiter who made wedding clothes, because he knew about this business. Basically there was no way to escape, so he took out several pieces of red cloth of different grades from behind the counter, pointed at the first piece of red cloth and said, "This piece of red cloth is made of coarse cloth. The cheapest price is only 500 yuan." One piece, but the quality will be worse and it will not be very comfortable to wear." Coarse cloth is the cheapest of all cloths, but it is also the most uncomfortable to wear. It can be said that except for those from poor families, no one will buy coarse cloth. .

Zhang Dayong didn't even take a look at the coarse cloth. When Zhang Dayong thought about it, even if he couldn't afford expensive cloths like silk and satin, he wouldn't be reduced to buying coarse cloth.

The waiter understood immediately when he saw Zhang Dayong's expression. He put the coarse cloth aside, pointed at the second piece of cloth and said, "This is a mixture of fine cotton and coarse cloth. The price is slightly more expensive than coarse cloth, but it is also cheaper than fine cotton." It's cheap, about 700 yuan a piece, and it's quite comfortable to wear."

The cloth mixed with fine cotton and coarse cloth is the favorite cloth of farmers. Not only is it comfortable to wear, but the price is also affordable.

"Is there anything better???" Zhang Dayong hoped to give Lin Qin the best he could afford.

"Our shop is naturally the largest cloth shop in town. This is fine cotton dyed red. It is very soft and comfortable to wear, but the price is a little more expensive, costing two taels of silver a piece. If you think the price is too expensive, "In fact, you can also choose a piece of cloth mixed with coarse cloth and fine cotton cloth. If you don't like the previous piece, there are also cloths with more fine cotton and less coarse cloth, and the price is about one or two silver." Two introduced.

The clothes that Lin Qin gave to Zhang Dayong to repay his kindness were made of cloth mixed with coarse cloth and fine cotton, but they were of a slightly higher grade and cost one tael of silver a piece. It's just that Zhang Dayong felt that it was fine for daily wear, but not good enough for weddings, so after thinking about it, he chose red cloth made of fine cotton.

The waiter was so happy when he heard that Zhang Dayong wanted to buy a whole piece of red cloth made of fine cotton. He quickly packed the red cloth and handed it to Zhang Dayong. Then he took the money and put it on the counter, and then respectfully handed Zhang Dayong away. Buzhuang.

After buying the hairpin and cloth, Zhang Dayong's mission in the town today is basically completed. After returning home, Zhang Dayong carefully put away his things, then when he saw the sky was dark, he took his bow and arrows and went up the mountain to see if he could catch any prey.

Maybe God saw that Zhang Dayong was about to get married and gave him some luck. Zhang Dayong shot several pheasants in one afternoon and even caught a few bamboo rats. Bamboo rats are small, exquisite, fast and very difficult to make. However, because bamboo rats have good nutritional value, they are very popular among the rich people in the town and even the county, and the price has always been high.

Even though Zhang Dayong has been living in the mountains all year round, he has never caught bamboo rats a few times. Even though Zhang Dayong usually had no expression on his face, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the bamboo rat.

Looking at the three bamboo rats in his hand, Zhang Dayong thought for a long time and decided not to sell them. Although selling them would bring a lot of money, Zhang Dayong was not very short of money now, so he might as well leave the bamboo rats to Lin Qin to replenish his health.

After Zhang Dayong returned home, he first disposed of the dead pheasants to prevent them from rotting and smelling after being left for a long time. Then he took out two chicken cages in the warehouse and locked the three bamboo rats in two chicken cages respectively. After doing all this, Zhang Dayong placed the chicken cage with two bamboo rats in the corner, poured some water and food into it, and finally carried the chicken cage with one bamboo rat to Village Chief Li's house. Go.

Zhang Dayong had been thinking about what gift to send to congratulate Village Chief Li's family on their happy event, but he never thought of it. It's not that Zhang Dayong can't give pheasants or something as gifts. It's already a very heavy gift for rural people. But Zhang Dayong feels that Village Chief Li has been taking care of him all these years. It can be said that if it were not for Village Chief Li, Zhang Dayong would not know where he is now. It would be too shabby to only give him a few pheasants. But he couldn't just send the robe over. It would seem too expensive to outsiders, and the villagers wouldn't know what kind of gossip they would say.

Now Zhang Dayong no longer has a headache. If the bamboo rat is locked in a chicken cage, others will only think that there are pheasants in it. As long as Village Chief Li and his family don't tell anyone, no one will know.

"Yongzi, you came right after you said you would come, so why are you giving me a gift?" Village Chief Li saw the chicken cage in Zhang Dayong's hand and guessed that Zhang Dayong was here to congratulate him. Although he was a little unhappy with Zhang Dayong being so polite, he just thought that Zhang Dayong was here to congratulate him. If there was a pheasant inside, he asked Li Fulang to take it and lock it up with his own chickens.

Zhang Dayong saw that Li Fulang was trying to open the chicken cage and was worried that the bamboo rat would run away if he was not prepared. He quickly said, "Uncle, there is a bamboo rat in the cage. Be careful not to let it escape." "

Bamboo rat. " Rat!!!" Village Chief Li and Mr. Li exclaimed at the same time. Li Fulang didn't even dare to move. They also knew how expensive the bamboo rat was. It would not be a sin for them to let the bamboo rat escape.

"Why did you send the bamboo rat? Take it back quickly and sell it in the town tomorrow. You are also about to get married, and you need money everywhere." Village Chief Li knew that Zhang Dayong gave him a bamboo rat and refused to say anything. He accepted it and threw the chicken cage directly back into Zhang Dayong's arms.

Zhang Dayong pushed the chicken coop back in front of Village Chief Li, and then said, "Uncle, I still have this as a gift from me. Just accept it. You have been taking care of me all these years. Just this bamboo rat." I still think the gift is too light."

"If this gift is too light, you still want to give a tiger. It's not like you don't know how expensive bamboo rats are. Even if you still have them at home, who would think that money is too little? Although I have taken care of you over the years, it is still what I should do. You mainly rely on yourself to survive today. I really can't accept this bamboo rat." Village Chief Li said firmly.

The stern look on Village Chief Li's face was quite scary, but Zhang Dayong didn't feel scared at all and said, "Since I sent this bamboo rat, I don't plan to take it back. If you really don't want it, just open the chicken cage and let the bamboo rat do it by himself." Just run away."

Zhang Dayong's rogue look left Village Chief Li very speechless. He stared at Zhang Dayong without saying a word for a long time. Apparently he was so blocked that he no longer knew what to say. The two of them stared at each other like this for a long time, and finally Village Chief Li was defeated. He glared at Zhang Dayong angrily and said, "You prodigal son is giving away things randomly. Forget it, I'm afraid of you. I won't give it to you again in the future." If you give me such a valuable thing next time, I will really open the cage and let it run away." Village Chief Li's family still has two sons who are not married, and Village Chief Li doesn't want his family to have a happy event. To give such an expensive gift, that's why I said the ugly thing first.

"Listen to your uncle." Zhang Dayong agreed very readily. Only later will we know whether he can do it or not.

"By the way, are you ready with the red cloth? I have prepared the wine for you. You will bring back the wine for the engagement in a while. As for the wine for the wedding banquet, put it with me first. Your place There are holes everywhere and there is no place to put them." Village Chief Li asked with concern.

"It's ready. I'll go to Aunt Zhou tomorrow to ask. If she's ready, I'll go to the Lin family to propose marriage." Zhang Dayong said with a smile in his eyes.

"Okay, you can't live without an elder when you propose marriage. Then I will accompany you and act as your elder." Village Chief Li thought that since Zhang Dayong called him uncle, he would have to have someone to do it. As an uncle, Zhang Dayong cannot be allowed to have no elders when he gets engaged.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Dayong hadn't thought of this at first, but to his surprise, Village Chief Li had thought of it for him first and quickly thanked him.

The next day, Zhang Dayong went to Aunt Zhou's house to ask if the betrothal gift was ready. When he learned that everything was ready, Zhang Dayong finally felt relieved. Now they only have to wait for the agreed time to come to propose marriage.

On the appointed day, both Zhang Dayong and the Lin family got up early to freshen up. Especially Lin Qin, who rarely took out a piece of red paper and slightly dyed his lips, making the whole person look brighter. .

Although many people in the village spread rumors about the incident between Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin, everyone knew that it was just slander and there could be nothing between Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin. So when Village Chief Li and Aunt Zhou accompanied Zhang Dayong to the Lin family to propose marriage, the entire Zhuangyuan Village exploded.

Many villagers refused to believe that the news was true, so they rushed to Lin's house to check. They saw two mahogany boxes placed in the open space of Lin's house. Inside the boxes were items such as melons, fruits, wedding candies, etc. It looks like I was hired. This surprised many people, and some even started to chirp, "It seems that the previous rumors are not false. Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin have really been together for a long time." "Don't talk nonsense, Zhang Dayong and

Brother Qin have been together for a long time ." It had nothing to do with it. After the rumors spread, Lin Han felt that Zhang Dayong was pretty good. In addition to the rumors, he thought that it would be good to assign Qin Ge to Zhang Dayong. Originally, the two families planned to wait until Er Zhuzi's marriage was over. Let's talk about this matter again, but isn't Zhang Dayong getting old and about to be married to an official, so he thought of finalizing the marriage first, and waiting for a while to get married." The person who said this was none other than Wang, a neighbor of the Lin family. Aunt.

Now that they are getting married, Zhang Dayong and the Lin family have not done anything. As early as when she decided to get married, Bai Xiuniang began to talk about it vaguely, and later even praised Zhang Dayong. After the two families decided to officially get engaged, Bai Xiuniang told the neighbors about the incident. Maybe some people still didn't believe in throwing dirty water on Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin, but they believed that there were still many good people in the world.

Zhang Dayong's betrothal gift was quite satisfactory. Although the red cloth made of fine cotton surprised the villagers who were watching the excitement, the other betrothal gifts were not out of the ordinary and not very expensive. But who would have expected that after Village Chief Li replaced Zhang Dayong's elders and exchanged their letters with Lin Han, Zhang Dayong suddenly took out a long object wrapped tightly in cloth from his arms and handed it to Lin Qin.

This sudden move made many villagers who were about to leave stopped and wanted to see what Zhang Dayong had given them.

Lin Qin didn't expect that Zhang Dayong had prepared a gift for him. He subconsciously opened it and found a finely crafted silver hairpin lying inside the cloth. Although Lin Qin didn't know how much the silver hairpin he had cost, he still knew that the cheapest silver hairpin cost one tael of silver, and he couldn't help but scream in surprise.
